Returns to White House From Visit
to Isthmus and Porto Rico.
WILL SAY NOTHING OF CANAL
semen
Washington, Nov. 27.—Completing
a remarkable trip to Panama, during
which he traveled several thousand
miles by sea and visited not only the
isthmus, but Porto Rico as well, and
voicing his thorough enjoyment of the
entire voyage, President Roosevelt re-
turned to Washington Monday night.
The trip up the Potomac on the con-
verted yacht Mayflower, to which he
ana his party were transferred from
the Leuisiana at Piney Point, was
made without special incident. As
the Mayflower pulled into the dock
at the rear of the office of the com-
mandant of the navy yard Miss Ethel
Roosevelt, the president's daughter,
and Miss Hagner, Mrs. Roosevelt's
secretary, were awaiting to greet the
party. Miss Roosevelt immediately
rushed on hoard as soon as the gang
plank was laid and affectionately
greeted her father and mother. The
president landed within 10 minutes
after the arrival of the Mayflower. To
those who met him he stated that he
had had a delightful trip and that he
was feeling finely.
The president and Mrs. Roosevelt
immediately proceeded to the White
House. As the president alighted
from his carriage he shook hands with
all the attaches and others waiting on
the portico.
Speaking of his trip, the president
said “We had a very pleasant, very
enjoyable time, and I am deeply im-
pressed with the United States navy,
with Panama and with Porto Rico.”
The Panama canal, it was stated by
the president, will be a subject of a
special message, and consequently on
that subject the president will say
nothing at this time.
Pedro Roquena Bermudez, charge
d'affaires of Uruguay, was the only
member of the diplomatic corps who
greeted the president upon his ar-
rival. At the front entrance to the
navy yard Senor Bermudez was de-
layed by the marine guard, who re-
fused to admit him without the con-
sent of the commandant. After being
delayed for 20 minutes he was ad-
mitted, and when the presidert ap-
peared on the deck of the Mayflower
the diplomat was the first to rush up
the gangplank. He protested to the
president against the manner in which
he had been treated by the marine
guard.
FRENCH SCHOOLSHIP BURNED
500 Men Were On Board, But It Is.Be-
lieved Most of Them Escaped.
Toulon, France, Nov. 26,—The tor
pedo schoolship Algesiras, stationed
in this harbor, was totally destroyed
by fire. There were 500 men on board
when the fire broke out, but all es-
«caped except three.
The burning of the schoolship creat-
«d the greatest alarm throughout the
«ity. News of the fire was first con-
‘veyed by the firing of cannon in the
Tharbor. The people hurriedly left the
«afes and theatres and rushed to the
dlocks, whence they could see the Al
gesiras a mass of flames in the har-
bor. The burning vessel stood out
brilliantly in the encircling darkness,
and the glare of the flames lit up the
other shipping and the coast and
wharves.
There was terrible anxiety concern-
ing the fate of the 500 men on hoard
auntil the authorities announced that
~everyvbody had been taken off in boats
and saved, with the exception of
three. These men did not answer the
roll call, and it is presumed they were
burned to death.
The Algesiras was a ship of the line,
and for a number of years past she
had been doing duty as a harbor vessel
and employed as a torpedo training
ship. She was of 5047 tons displace-
ment, and was built in 1855.
“Three Killed In Collision.
+ New Haven, Conn., Nov. 27.—Three
‘men were killed and five others were
injured seriously in a collision of a
work car crowded with Italian labor-
ers on the railway and a string of
three gravel cars, in the yards of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railway. About 60 men were in the
work car when the crash came and
panic-stricken, they fought with one
another in their efforts to get out. As
soon as the laborers recovered from
“their panic, after having reached the
ground, a large part of them, with
‘picks, shovels and knives, started for
‘the remaining engine. The engineer
and fireman, however, seeing the
danger, it is said, ran their engine
away from the scene and escaped from
them.
Accidentally Killed By Playmate.
' Hoosick Falls, N. Y., Nov. 24—Clif-
tord Mason, 12 years old, was shot and
instantly killed by the accidental dis.
charge of a gun in the hands of ohn
Sheffer, his playmate, who did not
know the gun was loaded. While the
Sheffer boy was arranging the trig.
ger the gun slipped from his grasp.
His playmate was not more than six
feet distant and received the chagge.
Suicide’s Novel Plan.
Chester, 8. C., Nov. 27.—P. Butler
YWood, a retired merchant, shot and
killed himself by fastening a shot gun
in front of his bedroom door and a
string from the trigger to the knob and
then slamming the door. He left 2 note
saying he had to die and preferred
dying by his own hand. He had been
suffering from acute nervous trouble,
EMERY CLEARS McNICHOL
Fusion Candidate For Governor of
Penna. Retracts Bribery Charge.
Philadelphia, Nov. 26.—In a manly
tlatement to the public, issued through
his lega adviser in this city, Lewis
Emery, Jr., fusion candidate for gover-
nor, retracts charges of bribery made
by him in the heat of the campaign
nd implicating Senator James P. Mec-
Nichol. Satisfied with the statement,
Mr. McNichol will withdraw the prose-
cutions, civil and criminal, that ho
caused to be instituted against Mr. Em-
ery. The retraction was drafted by
ex-Judge James Gay Gordon, forward-
ed to ex-Senator Emery for his signa-
ture. A. S. L. Shields, counsel for
Mr. McNichol, to whom it was handed
by Judge Gordon, then gave it out for
publication. It follows:
“To the public: As the result of re-
cent investigation, I am convinced that
the statement made by me in-a politi-
cal speech at Lebanon, respecting the
bribery of certain members of the leg-
islature to vote for Marshall for speak-
er of the house of representatives in
the legislative session of 1901, was in-
correct, so far as the same related to
James P. McNichol, and in justice to
him I desire to state that the conver-
sation which I was informed took
place, and which I quoted in my speech,
was erroneously imputed to him.
“With the bribery of members of
the legislature referred to, I am con-
vinced Mr. McNichol had nothing what-
ever to do, and I cheerfully make this
retraction of any imputation to that |
effect arising from the speech deliver- |
ed by me.”
The charges made by Mr. Emery
were to the effect that Mr. McNichol
had, for $15,000 each, bribed five Dem-
ocratic members of the legislature at
the opening of the session of 1901 in
order to bring about the election of
Marshall to the speakership, an event
of great importance to the late Sena-
tor Quay, who was then striving for
re-election, his seat having been va.
cant as a result of the historic dead- !
lock in the proceeding session.
TRYING TO RAISE PRICE OF MILK
Dairymen Claim They Must Get More
For Their Product or Seli Stock.
Philadelphia, Nov. 27.—During the
last few days a committee represent
ing the Dairymen’s Association of
North Philadelphia has been touring
Montgomery and Bucks counties with
the view of getting the farmers to co
operate with them in raising the price
of milk.
The Dairymen’s Association of
North Philadelphia has been in exist
ence for about two months, its object
being to protect the interests of those |
farmers who are engaged in cattle
raising, also the selling of milk to
dealers who supply a large percentage
of the residents of the city proper.
For years past these same dairymen
have been disposing of their milk to
the dealers at the rate of 4 to 4% cents |
a quart, but now they claim that the
present price of 4% cents does not
pay, and if they are unable to obtain
5% cents a quart for their product
they will be obliged to dispose of their
herd of cattle. And it is all on account
of the price of feed, which at the pres
ent time is the highest known for the
last ten years.
SWEPT OVER NIAGARA FALLS |
Desperate Attempt to Rescue Unknown
Man Failed.
Niagara Falls, N. Y., Nov. 27.—An
unknown man was swept over the
Horseshoe Falls in a small boat after
a daring attempt had been made tc |
save him. An employe of the Ontario
Power company first saw the little
craft coming down the river in the |
grasp of the swift current. The ocen
pant, a man, was standing up franti
cally waving his hands. Two rowboats
started down the Chippewa river
toward Niagara to attempt a rescuc
at the mouth of the small stream. The
rescuers went far beyond what is con
sidered the danger line, but a cross
cnrrent carried the unfortunate man
away from them toward Goat Island,
and in a few minutes he was carried
over the Horseshoe Falls. The would:
be rescuers were by this time in na
perilous position, and it was with great
difficulty that they succeeded in get
ting back to shore.
Woman Jumped Overboard at Sea.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 26.--“Mias
A. Browning,” who took passage at
Charleston for Jacksonville on the
Clyde line steamer Iroquois, was miss:
ing when the steamer arrived here,
Her berth had not been occupied, and
her open suit case, cloak, hat and
shoes were in her state room. It is
supposed that she leaped overboard,

ing on the rail and iooking out upon
the ocean, and was still about the
deck at 2 o'clock in the morning.
No American Deaths on Isthmus.
Washington, Nov. 27.—Not a single
American died on the canal zone from
disease in the last months, ac-
cording to a report the isthmian canal
commission has just received from Col-
onel W. C. Gorgas, the chief sanitary
officer on the zone. The decrease in
the death rate among the employes,
Colonel Gorgas reports, is due almost
entirely to the decrease in pneumonia.
In October the deaths among the canal
employes were 86 negroes and 2 whites,
Burning Bacon to Kelp From Freezing
El Paso, Tex., Nov. 24—A special
from Carlsbad, N. M., says that the
fuel supply in that town is exhausted
and people have been forced to bura
bacon to keep from freezing. Schools
have been dismissed in consequence
of the terrible cold. The snow is a foot
deep in town and two feet out on the
range.

COUNTERFEITERS CAUGHT
Becret Service Men Make Important
Arrest in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 27.—Import.
ant developments are expected to fol-
low the arrest in this ccity of Edward
Todd, of Darby, on a charge of mak-
ing engraved plates for the manufac-
ture of counterfeit bank notes of the
$1 and $5 denominations. © Todd was
rrrested in a house on Wood street
by Secret Service Operatives Griffin,
Elsmer and Keats, after an investi.
gation that followed the finding of a
bundles of plates in ‘az alley near the
Wood street house some time ago.
When arrested Todd had in his pos-
session several plates. In the house
where he made his headquarters they
found several genuine notes which had
been stripped and used in making the
bogus plates. The tools used by the
counterfeiters were also found. As
Todd is a painter, the officers do not
believe he was competent to make the
plates, and they are looking for con-
federates. They are looking for the
printing plant also. Todd refuses to
make any statement.
Bart Ruello, known as the “King
of the Counterfeiters,” and who has
served several terms, was also arrest-
ed by the secret service, together with
Vito Vincenzo, for passing counterfeit
coins.
PREACHED FROM CHURCH STEPS
Lutherans Barred From Church By
the Reformed Faction.
Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 26.—The unu-
sual spectacle of a clergyman locked
out of church, and preaching to his
congregation from the church steps,
| was the result of the dispute that has
| caused a schism in the United Evangel-
{ ical Lutheran Church, in Eden town-
{ ship, this county. The congregation
| was organized some years ago in the
| Lutheran faith. Recently a number of
| the members accepted the Reform doc-
| trine, elected a pastor of their own,
| and, it is alleged, refused to permit
‘the Lutherans to hold services in the
| church. Last Thursday the Lutherans
| petitioned the court, and an injunc-
| tion was issued restraining the Re-
| formed faction from interfering with
| them. However, when the Rev. Emil
| Meister, of this city, went to the church
| to hold services he found the doors
| locked and the sexton missing. He
| took the church steps for his pulpit
. and preached a sermon, in which he
| counseled his hearers to bear their tri-
| uIs with patience and forbearance, Lit-
| gation is threatened.
WANTS $500,000 DAMAGES
| Coal Company Sues B. & O. For Not
| Supplying Cars.
{ Colambus, O., Nov. 27. — William
| Job, of the Peabody Coal Company,
| filed suit i nthe United States district
| court against the Baltimore & Ohio
i Railway company for $500,000 dam-
| ages.
The coal company owns a mine in
| Perry county, O., and asserts that on
the strength of the railroad company’s
| promise to furnish cars it took a con-
| tract to supply the Northwestern Fuel
{ Company, of St. Paul, with 120,000
| tons of lump coal. The plaintiff says
| that the railroad company has been
| unable to fulfill its contract, and has,
| therefore, been damaged to the amount
named. The petition further charges
, that while the Peabody company was
| unable to obtain cars, other mines
| nearby, in which officers of the rail:
! road company are alleged to have in-
| terests, procured all the cars needed.
| CHARGED WITH GRAFT
| Railrord President and Pittsburg
_ Councilman Arrested.
Pittsburg. Pa., Nov. 27.—C. 8. Cam-
eron, president of the Tube City rail-
way, and William A. Martin, a mem-
ber of comynon council, were rear-
rested here, following a meeting of
councils in connection with recent
charges that they were trying to de-
fraud the railway out of $70,000. The
two men were first arrested last Wed-
nesday and held first in $80,000 bail,
which was later reduced to $10,000.
The charges were made by C. R. Rich-
ardson, a stockholder, who charged
“grafting”in connection with a number
of ordinances now pending before the
Pittebarg councils.
Sensational charges are being made
regarding the Tube City railway ordi-
nances, which provided for a proposed
railway line from McKeesport, Pa.,
with Pittsburg as the terminal.
DENIAL IN PATRICK CASE
Governor Higgins Has Not Given Any
Promise of Commutation.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 27.—"“The state-
ment that I have promised or intimated
to anybody that I will commute the
sentence of Albert T. Patrick is abso-
lutely and unqualifiedly false,” said
Governor Higgins. “I have made no
promise on the subject, directly or in-
directly to any living man.”
The governor added that, so far as he
knew, the case was still within the
jurisdiction of the United States su-
preme court.
Blind Oppose Segregation.
New York, Nov. 26.—A meeting of
blind persons and friends of the blind
was held here at the home of Miss
Winifred Holt, sectetary of the New
York Association for the Blind, to dis-
cuss the recently made proposal that
the blind be segregated in colonies.
The meeting decided against segrega-
tion and that blind persons should be
associated as much as possible with
those whose eyesight is unimpaired.
Prominent Odd Feliow Dead.
Trenton. N. J, Nov. 26.—James C.
Robbins, for many years grand treas-
urer of the grand encampment of Odd
